As the actuator of these each drive division 138X, 138Y, 138Z, for example can be linear actuators.Linear actuators can provide several μ m or its following setting accuracy repeatedly, and can drive each at high speed.In addition, except linear actuators, also can utilize the mechanism that has for example made up ball screw and stepper motor to drive each.In addition, as shown in Figure 2, substrate delivery/reception device 130 is connected on the control part 200, according to control signal drive controlling each drive division 138X, 138Y, the 138Z from this control part 200.
According to the supporting pin driving mechanism 138 of such formation, utilize Z direction drive division 138Z to drive supporting pin 13ZA～132C up and down by base 134, can place or take off wafer W to carrying arm or mounting table 112 thus.In addition, utilize directions X drive division 138X and Y direction drive division 138Y, drive supporting pin 132A～132C on (XY direction) in the horizontal direction, can adjust the horizontal level of the wafer W on supporting pin 132A～132C by base 134.
Thus, utilizing supporting pin 132A～132C after the carrying knee-joint is subjected to wafer W, do not use carrying arm, transfer robot, and the state that keeps wafer W is positioned on supporting pin 132A～132C only moves in the horizontal direction, just can proofread and correct the offset of wafer W, the result can improve the throughput of wafer-process.
In addition, having on the larger-diameter mounting table 112 under the situation of placing wafer W and lifting as shown in Figure 1, be preferably and on mounting table 112, form through hole 113A～113C and make corresponding with supporting pin 132A～132C.Thus, utilize Z direction drive division 138Z to drive supporting pin 132A～132C by base 134, supporting pin 132A～132C can be by corresponding through hole 113A～113C from mounting table 112 outstanding or withdrawals.
In addition, utilize directions X drive division 138X and Y direction drive division 138Y to drive supporting pin 132A～132C by base 134, supporting pin 132A～132C can move on (XY direction) in the scope of the internal diameter that is equivalent to corresponding supporting pin 132A～132C in supporting pin 132A～132C in the horizontal direction.
According to this structure, also utilizing supporting pin 132A～132C from back support wafer W on the position near the center than its circumference, therefore, even for example the circumference of the wafer W on the mounting table 112 is being handled under the situation of (clean processing for example described later), is also being left the position supporting wafer W of the part that becomes its process object by supporting pin 132A～132C.
In addition, can set the diameter of through hole 113A～113C according to the diameter of supporting pin 132A～132C and displacement in the horizontal direction (that is, horizontal direction can positioning range).For example the diameter of through hole 113A～113C can be 10～20mm.
When rotating mounting table 112, reduce supporting pin 132A～132C and make the top of supporting pin 132A～132C be lower than the bottom surface of mounting table 112.Collision when thus, avoiding rotating mounting table 112 between through hole 113A～113C and the supporting pin 132A～132C.
In addition, in the present embodiment, a supporting pin passes a through hole of mounting table, but is not limited to this, under the situation of using a plurality of supporting pins, a plurality of through holes is set on mounting table, also can pass a through hole by a plurality of supporting pins.
In the substrate delivery/reception device 130 that constitutes like this, constituting in the horizontal direction, (XY direction) goes up mobile supporting pin 132A～132C, thus for example at supporting pin 132A～132C after knee-joint has been subjected to wafer W from carrying, can carry arm and keep the state of supporting pin 132A～132C supporting wafer W to move in the horizontal direction.Thus, can proofread and correct the offset of wafer W apace.In addition, therefore the carrying arm, can improve the throughput of wafer-process can carry out other operation (for example carrying of other wafer action) immediately after supporting pin 132A～132C handing-over wafer W.
In addition, the substrate delivery/reception device 130 of present embodiment separates formation with mounting table unit 110, therefore can have simple structure.In addition, substrate delivery/reception device 130 can provide the higher degree of freedom of the setting in process chamber, therefore can be configured in the various process chambers.And, under the situation that mounting table 112 is rotated,, can make mounting table 112 high speed rotating by separately constituting mounting table unit 110 and substrate delivery/reception device 130.In addition, substrate delivery/reception device 130 can utilize directions X drive division 138X and Y direction drive division 138Y to drive supporting pin 132A～132C in the horizontal direction, therefore can proofread and correct to pinpoint accuracy the offset of wafer W.
And, the substrate delivery/reception device 130 of present embodiment is not to drive mounting table in the horizontal direction to come the correction position skew, come the correction position skew but drive supporting pin 132A～132C in the horizontal direction, therefore, even it is for example big and utilize under the situation that substrate position detection apparatus 150 can't detect in the offset of wafer W, also can keep utilizing supporting pin 132A～132C to lift the state of wafer W, utilize the mobile in the horizontal direction wafer W of supporting pin 132A～132C till the position that can detect by substrate position detection apparatus 150.Thus, even under the bigger situation of the offset of wafer W, also can detect the position of wafer W and correction position skew apace.
(substrate position detection apparatus)
Then, describe substrate position detection apparatus 150 in detail with reference to Fig. 1, Fig. 4.Fig. 4 is the general perspective of the structure of expression substrate position detection apparatus, in order to represent the structure of substrate position detection apparatus more than you knowly, omits erecting bed 156 shown in Figure 1, mounting table unit 110.
Substrate position detection apparatus 150 comprises the substrate position test section of the position of the horizontal direction that is used to detect wafer W.For example as shown in Figure 4, the substrate position test section comprises a plurality of (for example three) shooting part (first～the 3rd shooting part) 152A～152C of the circumference that detects wafer W and the illumination light source 154A～154C that disposes in opposite directions with these shooting parts 152A～152C respectively.
Shooting part 152A～152C detects the having or not of circumference and having or not of shape, wafer W of wafer W according to the output of the image that obtains by the circumference of taking wafer W.Use the shape of the circumference of wafer W, make and for example obtain the center of wafer W and detect the position of wafer W thus according to this circumference shape.In addition, for example when judging the circumference to detect wafer W, use the having or not of circumference of wafer W.For example use having or not of wafer W till the position of the circumference that can detect wafer W the time in the position of proofreading and correct wafer W.
In the present embodiment, shooting part 152A～152C is made of CCD camera (camera head).Each CCD camera for example comprises CCD, and (Charge CoupledDevice: charge coupled device) imageing sensor, focus adjustment are with lens etc.In addition, illumination light source 154A～154C is made of the LED unit.In addition, possess diffuser plate, thus, make light intensity even at the surface of emission of overall optical at the surface of emission of the light of illumination light source 154A～154C.
Shooting part 152A～152C and illumination light source 154A～154C for example are installed on as shown in Figure 1 the vertical erecting bed 156.Erecting bed 156 comprises carriage 157 that portion's level is from it stretched out and the carriage 158 that stretches out in the lower horizontal of this carriage 157.Shooting part 152A～152C is installed on the carriage 157 up, below carriage 158 on illumination light source 154A～154C is installed.Thus, shooting part 152A～152C is positioned at the top of the circumference of wafer W, and illumination light source 154A～154C is positioned at the below of the circumference of wafer W.
As shown in Figure 4, illumination light source 154A～154C optical axis of being configured to illumination light source 154A～154C passes the photosurface of corresponding shooting part 152A～152C.In addition, if the top height that comes the wafer W when the carrying knee-joint is subjected to wafer W that will lift that supporting pin 132A～132C is higher than mounting table 112 is made as and accepts height, the position of the wafer W with the center of wafer W when consistent with the center of mounting table 112 (wafer position of representing with double dot dash line shown in Figure 4) is made as the reference position Wst of horizontal direction, adjust then that shooting part 152A～152C is feasible to focus respectively at the circumference of the wafer of accepting to be positioned on the height reference position Wst.And, adjust shooting part 152A～152C and make circumference at the wafer W that accepts to be positioned on the height reference position Wst enter measurement visual field (first～the 3rd measures the visual field) 153A～153C as the camera watch region of shooting part 152A～152C.In addition, in the present embodiment, carry out these adjustment according to shooting part location regulation method described later.
Specifically, as shown in Figure 5, measurement visual field 153A～153C of each shooting part 152A～152C equally spaced arranges along the circumference of the wafer that is positioned at reference position Wst.In illustrated embodiment, measure visual field 153A be positioned at reference position Wst wafer W center S0 and to measure the angle d of visual field 153B regulation and measure visual field 153B all be 45 degree by center S0 and the angle d that measures visual field 153C regulation, measuring visual field 153A is 90 degree by center S0 and the angle D that measures visual field 153C regulation.The arrangement angles of this measurement visual field 153A～153C is not limited to above-mentioned angle, can freely change by the installation site of adjusting shooting part 152A～152C.In addition, be thought of as this angle θ on XY reference axis shown in Figure 5 with X-axis be 0 degree, with clockwise for just.
As shown in Figure 2, shooting part 152A～152C is connected control basal plate connection device 130 and waits on the control part 200 of each one.Utilize shooting part 152A～152C to take the view data that obtains and be sent to control part 200 in the measurement visual field of correspondence.Control part 200 detects the circumference of wafer W according to the view data that receives.
For example, when the circumference of wafer W entered measurement visual field 153A, the light from illumination light source 154A of measuring zone corresponding with wafer W among the 153A of visual field was blocked and deepening, and the part beyond it brightens.Thus, can detect the circumference that in measuring visual field 153A, has or not wafer W simply.In measuring the visual field, exist under the situation of circumference, this visual field is called grey visual field.It is different from does not described laterly have circumference and white visual field under the situation that all become clear in its all visual fields, measures that the visual field is blocked by wafer W and all measure all blackout fields under the situation of dark, visual fields in measuring the visual field.
In addition, in above-mentioned example, the bright areas among the measurement visual field 153A and the boundary line of dark area are the shape (being circular shape under the situation of discoideus as the present embodiment wafer for example) of the circumference of wafer W, therefore can be according to take the shape that the image that obtains detect the circumference of wafer W in measuring visual field 153A.
According to the shape of the circumference of detected like this wafer W, control part 200 can be calculated the center of wafer W.And control part 200 can also be obtained position offset and the offset direction of wafer W from the horizontal direction of the rotary middle spindle of mounting table 112.According to this position offset and offset direction, drive directions X drive division 138X and Y direction drive division 138Y, thereby drive supporting pin 132A～132C in the horizontal direction, adjust the position of the horizontal direction of wafer W thus.
In addition, to detect the offset of wafer W according to the view data of utilizing shooting part 152A～152C to obtain like this, need in advance on the center of rotation with mounting table 112 is the reference coordinate (XY coordinate) of initial point S0, correctly to set the position of the measurement visual field 153A～153C corresponding with shooting part 152A～15ZC with respect to the center of rotation of mounting table 112.
Usually determine X-direction, Y direction, the origin position of this reference coordinate according to the position of each device in the design.For example, the initial point of reference coordinate is corresponding with the center of rotation of the mounting table 112 that designs, the X-axis of reference coordinate is corresponding with the direction that the directions X drive division 138X that is designed to substrate delivery/reception device 130 moves, and the Y-axis of reference coordinate is corresponding with the direction that the Y direction drive division 138Y that is designed to substrate delivery/reception device 130 moves.
In addition, also according to the installation site in the design of shooting part 152A～152C, on reference coordinate setting measurement visual field 153A～153C with respect to the position of the initial point of reference coordinate as measuring the position of visual field 153A～153C with respect to the center of rotation of mounting table 112.
Yet, because the alignment errors of shooting part 152A～152C etc. as shown in Figure 6, exist the initial point S0 of the reference coordinate in the design and the inconsistent situation of center S1 of the mounting table 112 of reality.Like this, when the center S1 of the mounting table 112 of the initial point S0 of the reference coordinate on designing and reality produced skew, measurement visual field 153A～153C also produced skew with respect to the position of the center S1 of the mounting table 112 of reality.According to the degree of the offset of this measurement visual field 153A～153C, can't detect of the skew of the center of wafer W in pinpoint accuracy ground with respect to the center S1 of mounting table 112.
In addition, because the alignment error of shooting part 152A～152C etc., be not only the initial point of reference coordinate, also have the inconsistent situation of driving direction of the inconsistent situation of driving direction, Y-axis and the Y direction drive division 138Y of X-axis and directions X drive division 138X.Therefore, detect of the skew of the center of wafer W with promptly allowing to pinpoint accuracy, under the situation of the position of proofreading and correct this wafer W on X-direction, the Y direction, also can't proofread and correct to pinpoint accuracy with respect to the center S1 of mounting table 112.Therefore, need to carry out to pinpoint accuracy in advance the adjustment of coordinate position of measurement visual field 153A～153C of shooting part 152A～152C.
Therefore, in embodiments of the present invention, when the reference coordinate of setting about the measurement visual field 153A～153C of the correspondence of shooting part 152A～152C (X-direction, Y direction, origin position), use the wafer Wd of other tape label different with wafer W, detection is arranged on the mark on the wafer Wd, come corrected X direction of principal axis, Y direction, origin position according to its testing result, adjust thus and measure the coordinate position of visual field 153A～153C on reference coordinate.Thus, even there is the alignment error of shooting part, also can correctly detect center, and can correctly proofread and correct the position of the XY direction of wafer W with respect to the wafer W of the center of rotation of mounting table 112.
In addition, consider also can on the XY direction, move rotating workbench, detect the mark that is attached on the workbench, also can proofread and correct the coordinate position of shooting part thus.But, also move when the position of the center of rotation that on the XY direction, causes workbench when mobile, when rotary work-table, cause the skew of XY direction in addition, so need complicated operations for the coordinate position of proofreading and correct shooting part.
Relative therewith, according to the embodiment of the present invention, by separating the aforesaid substrate connection device 130 that constitutes with rotating mounting table 112, can utilize supporting pin 132A～132C mobile wafer W on the XY direction with the rotation of mounting table 112 independently, therefore, can carry out X-axis and the correction of Y-axis and the correction of origin position of reference coordinate respectively.Thus, can utilize extremely shirtsleeve operation to adjust the coordinate position of shooting part 153A～153C.
Specifically, wafer Wd is arranged on the supporting pin 132A～132C of substrate delivery/reception device 130, carries out the correction of the X-axis and the Y-axis of reference coordinate at mobile wafer Wd one side certification mark on a plurality of points on the XY direction on one side by actual.In addition, wafer Wd is arranged on the mounting table 112 by Height Adjustment anchor clamps 300 (aftermentioned), on one side actual rotation wafer Wd on one side on a plurality of somes certification mark carry out the correction of origin position.Come X-direction, Y direction, the origin position of correction reference coordinate according to the measurement point of these marks, adjust the coordinate position of measurement visual field 153A～153C of shooting part 152A～152C thus.
(wafer of tape label)
Then, the concrete example of the wafer Wd of oolemma mark with reference to accompanying drawing.Fig. 7 is the figure of the structure example of expression wafer Wd.As shown in Figure 7, wafer Wd has the diameter greater than the diameter that uses the wafer Wm in the manufacturing of semiconductor equipment.In addition, when hypothesis disposes actual wafer Wm with wafer Wd concentric circles ground, on the concentric circles corresponding, be formed with a plurality of mark mA～mD with the circumference of wafer Wm.
This mark mA～mD can be the through hole that connects wafer Wd.Therefore thus, from light transmission mark mA～mD (through hole) of illumination light source 154A～154C,, then detect bright point if mark mA～mD is positioned at measurement visual field 153A～153C of shooting part 152A～152C.When obtaining the center of gravity of detected each point, detect the serve as a mark position of mA～mD of this position of centre of gravity.In addition, mark mA～mD is not limited to through hole, and for example mark mA～mD also can be the mark with color different with the background color of wafer Wd.
Mark mA～mC among mark mA～mD is used to proofread and correct proofread and correct about the direction of principal axis of the X-axis of the reference coordinate of measurement visual field 153A～153C of shooting part 152A～152C described later and Y-axis use mark.The position of mark mA～mC is corresponding with measurement visual field 153A～153C.That is, mark mA～mC is configured to detect mark mA～mC simultaneously in the 153A～153C of the measurement visual field of correspondence.Thus, the simultaneously X-direction and the Y direction of the reference coordinate of correcting measuring visual field 153A～153C.In addition, the back describes the axial method of the correction reference coordinate that has used direction of principal axis calibration marker mA～mC in detail.
In addition, mark mD is used to proofread and correct proofread and correct about the origin position of the initial point of the reference coordinate of each shooting part 152A～152C use mark.In addition, the back describes in detail and has used origin position to proofread and correct the method for the correction reference origin position of using mark mD.And, wafer Wd be provided with can use Height Adjustment with the wafer Wd of anchor clamps 300 (aftermentioned) to the correct location of mounting table 112 and a plurality of (for example two) location hole H of installation, make that the center of rotation of mounting table 112 is consistent with the center of wafer Wd when correction reference origin position.In addition, back explanation uses Height Adjustment with anchor clamps 300 wafer Wd to be installed to concrete grammar on the mounting table 112.
(shooting part location regulation method)
Then, describe the location regulation method of the shooting part of present embodiment in detail with reference to accompanying drawing.According to this shooting part location regulation method, use above-mentioned substrate delivery/reception device 130, mounting table unit 110 to adjust to be arranged on the position of measurement visual field 153A～153C of the shooting part 152A～152C of the substrate position detection apparatus 150 on the reference coordinate (XY coordinate).Fig. 8 is the flow chart of location regulation method of the shooting part of expression present embodiment.
As mentioned above, the shooting part location regulation method of present embodiment can roughly be divided into following operation: utilize substrate delivery/reception device 130 in the horizontal direction (XY direction) go up the operation (step S100) of correction that mobile wafer Wd carries out the direction of principal axis (X-direction, Y direction) of reference coordinate; And utilize mounting table 112 to rotate the operation (step S200) of correction that wafer Wd carry out the origin position of reference coordinate.Below, these each operations are described successively.
(the axial correction of reference coordinate)
At first, with reference to the direction of principal axis correcting process (step S100) of description of drawings reference coordinate.For example carry out the direction of principal axis correcting process as shown in Figure 9.As shown in the figure, in step S110, (XY direction) goes up the wafer Wd that moves by supporting pin 132A～132C support of substrate delivery/reception device 130 in the horizontal direction, makes each mark mA～mC of wafer Wd enter corresponding measurement visual field 153A～153C.
Specifically, at first as shown in Figure 10, wafer Wd is placed on the supporting pin 132A～132C of substrate delivery/reception device 130.At this moment, in advance supporting pin 132A～132C is adjusted to the height of the position probing of carrying out actual wafer W by Z direction drive division 138Z.Then, drive directions X drive division 138X and Y direction drive division 138Y and come mobile wafer Wd on the XY direction, make mark mA～mC of wafer Wd enter corresponding measurement visual field 153A～153C thus as shown in Figure 11.In addition, in this state, usage flag mA～mC adjusts the focus of shooting part 152A～152C in advance.
Then, in step S120, keep making mark mA～mC to enter state mobile wafer Wd on directions X of corresponding measurement visual field 153A～153C, a plurality of differences (for example 3 points) in measuring visual field 153A～153C are gone up and are detected corresponding mark mA～mC.Specifically, for example as shown in figure 12, first point (for example, the point of the middle of three points among Figure 12) of certification mark mA～mC in measuring visual field 153A～153C.
Drive directions X drive division 138X and make negative direction (Figure 10) the mobile predetermined distance of wafer Wd to X-axis, second point of certification mark mA～mC in the 153A～153C of the measurement visual field of correspondence.Then, make positive direction (Figure 10) the mobile predetermined distance of wafer Wd, in the 153A～153C of the measurement visual field of correspondence, detect the 3rd point to X-axis.With the location storage of these points in memory etc.
In addition, the detection of three measurement points of mark mA～mC is not limited to above-mentioned situation, while for example also can make a plurality of measurement points of wafer Wd to the each mobile predetermined distance certification mark mA～mC of a direction (positive direction or negative direction) of X-axis.
Then, in step S130, keep making mark mA～mC to enter state mobile wafer Wd on the Y direction of corresponding measurement visual field 153A～153C, a plurality of differences (is 3 points at this) in measuring visual field 153A～153C are gone up and are detected corresponding mark mA～mC.Specifically, for example as shown in figure 13, first point (for example, the point of the middle of three points among Figure 13) of certification mark mA～mC in measuring visual field 153A～153C.
Drive Y direction drive division 138Y and make wafer Wd move predetermined distance, second point of certification mark mA～mC in the 153A～153C of the measurement visual field of correspondence to the negative direction of Y-axis.Then, make wafer Wd move predetermined distance, in the 153A～153C of the measurement visual field of correspondence, detect the 3rd point to the positive direction of Y-axis.With the location storage of these points in memory etc.
Thus, can easily detect three measurement points of measuring in the 153A～153C of visual field, therefore can improve the operating efficiency of the direction of principal axis correcting process of reference coordinate, can shorten the activity duration along the mark mA～mC of X-direction and Y direction.
In addition, the detection along three measurement points of Y direction of mark mA～mC is not limited to above-mentioned situation, while for example also can make wafer Wd go up a plurality of measurement points of each mobile predetermined distance certification mark mA～mC in a direction (positive direction or negative direction) of Y-axis.In addition, also can after the detection of three measurement points of Y direction, carry out carrying out along the detection of three measurement points of X-direction.
Then, in step S140, according to the measurement point of detected mark mA～mC in the 153A～153C of the measurement visual field of correspondence, to the direction of principal axis of the shooting part 152A～152C correction reference coordinate of correspondence.Specifically, proofread and correct make the X-direction of reference coordinate and the Y direction of consistent by mobile X-direction drive division 138X in step S120, reference coordinate to detected 3 directions of being arranged of each mark mA～mC with in step S130 by mobile Y direction drive division 138Y to detected 3 the direction unanimities of being arranged of each mark mA～mC.And measurement is arranged in the distance of three points of the mark mA～mC on the X-direction in measuring visual field 153A～153C, obtains by the ratio (multiplying power) of this distance that measures with the actual displacement of X-direction drive division 138X.In addition, in measuring visual field 153A～153C, measure the distance of three points that are arranged in the mark mA～mC on the Y direction, obtain by the ratio (multiplying power) of this distance that measures with the actual displacement of Y direction drive division 138Y.
As mentioned above, in the direction of principal axis correcting process (step S100) of reference coordinate, carry out X-direction correcting process and Y direction correcting process respectively, therefore carry out to pinpoint accuracy the axial correction of reference coordinate more simply.But, also can carry out the correction of X-direction of reference coordinate and the correction of Y direction simultaneously.In addition, for example also can make X-direction drive division 138X and the each mobile predetermined distance of Y direction drive division 138Y respectively simultaneously, in measuring visual field 153A～153C, detect the measurement point of mark mA～mC of wafer Wd thus, come corrected X direction of principal axis, Y direction according to testing result.
(correction of the origin position of reference coordinate)
Then, with reference to the origin position correcting process (step S200) of description of drawings reference coordinate.For example carry out the origin position correcting process as shown in Figure 14.In step S210 (Figure 14), rotate the wafer Wd that is arranged on the tape label on the mounting table 112, make a mark mD enter first and measure visual field 153A.Specifically, at first wafer Wd is arranged on the mounting table 112, makes that the center of rotation of mounting table 112 is correctly consistent with the center of wafer Wd.
Explanation correctly is arranged on the wafer Wd of tape label the concrete example of the method on the assigned position of mounting table 112.Figure 15 is used to illustrate by Height Adjustment with anchor clamps 300 wafer Wd is arranged on the perspective view of the method on the mounting table 112 that Figure 16 is the sectional view that expression is equipped with the mounting table 112 of wafer Wd.
At first, as Figure 15, shown in Figure 16, insert and to be used for Height Adjustment is positioned at anchor clamps alignment pin 312H on the mounting table 112 with anchor clamps 300 being formed on a plurality of (at these two) location hole 115H on the mounting table 112 respectively.Height Adjustment is positioned on the mounting table 112 with anchor clamps 300, makes the head of alignment pin 312H be inserted among the through hole 310H that is formed on the correspondence on the Height Adjustment usefulness anchor clamps 300.Thus, Height Adjustment is positioned on the assigned position with anchor clamps 300.
Then, wafer Wd is positioned in Height Adjustment with on the anchor clamps 300, make Height Adjustment consistent with the corresponding location hole H of wafer Wd, steady pin 314H is inserted in these holes respectively, thereby wafer Wd is fixed on Height Adjustment with on the anchor clamps 300 with the through hole 310H of anchor clamps 300.
Promptly, insert the bottom of Height Adjustment by a plurality of anchor clamps alignment pin 312H that will be configured on the mounting table 112 with the through hole 310H of the correspondence of anchor clamps 300, Height Adjustment is fixed on the mounting table 112 with anchor clamps 300, insert the top of Height Adjustment by a plurality of steady pin 314H that will connect wafer Wd, fix wafer Wd with the through hole 310H of the correspondence of anchor clamps 300.Like this, can use identical through hole 310H to carry out both location of the wafer Wd of mounting table 112 and tape label, therefore can more correctly make the center of mounting table 112 consistent with the center of the wafer Wd of tape label.Like this wafer Wd being installed in makes its crystal circle center correctly consistent with the center of rotation of mounting table 112 on the mounting table 112.
In addition, as shown in figure 16, determine the height h of Height Adjustment, make Height Adjustment be supported on the height identical with the height of the wafer W that measures by shooting part 152A～152C with the wafer Wd on the anchor clamps 300 with anchor clamps 300.In the present embodiment, under the state that utilizes supporting pin 132A～132C to lift, detect the periphery of wafer, determine that therefore Height Adjustment makes Height Adjustment be supported on this height with the wafer Wd on the anchor clamps 300 with the height h of anchor clamps 300.
In addition, in the direction of principal axis correcting process (step S100) of above-mentioned reference coordinate, shooting part 152A～152C focusing is being positioned at the wafer Wd of above-mentioned height, is not therefore needing focusing in this stage.
After being installed in wafer Wd on the mounting table 112 by Height Adjustment with anchor clamps 300 like this, as shown in Figure 17, rotate wafer Wd by the rotation of mounting table 112, as shown in Figure 18, the mark mD of wafer Wd is entered in the first measurement visual field 153A.
Then, in step S220, make wafer Wd rotate predetermined angular, a plurality of (for example 3 points) measurement point of certification mark mD in the first measurement visual field 153A.At this, make mark mD enter the roughly middle of the first measurement visual field mD, make wafer Wd rotate ± 0.5 degree, certification mark mD on three measurement points from this point.
For example as shown in figure 19, W positions to wafer, makes mark mD enter the roughly middle of the first measurement visual field 153A, first point of certification mark mD.Then, for example make wafer Wd rotate counterclockwise predetermined angular (0.5 degree), second point of certification mark mD in the first measurement visual field 153A.At last, make wafer Wd clockwise rotate predetermined angular (1.0 degree), the 3rd point of certification mark mD in the first measurement visual field 153A.With the location storage of these points in memory etc.
